CALENDAR.

SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No. 749,227, Vdai/eelJanuary 12, 1904. Application filed December 17, 1902. Serial No.135,498. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BELA RosENFELD, a citizen of Austria Hungary,residing at Vienna, in the Province of Lower Austria, Empire ofAustria-Hungary, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCalendars, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactspecification.

The present invention has reference to a new calendar, which althoughespecially intended to be attached to writingepads and the like may alsobe used independently; and its distinguishing features are that itconsists of several parts displaceably arranged in a common casingprovided with a cover or protecting-lid, Vand the arrangement is suchthat the individual parts are placed underneath an opening provided insaid cover or protectinglid, so that only the respective section of thecalendar-that is to say, the day or week or the like-is renderedvisible, while the remaining parts of the calendar are hidden underneathsaid cover or protecting-lid.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l shows the new calendar inplanready for use. Fig. 2 shows'a plan of the same, the cover orprotecting-lid of which is open. Fig. 3 shows a transverse section onthe line A B of Fig. 1 in a larger scale.

As above mentioned, the calendar is composed of several parts a,containing' a limited number of leaves. The arrangement of said parts issimilar to that of the well-known v block-calendars hitherto in use, andtheir lowermost or base leaf is slidunder a suitable ledge or rail dofmetal, placed across and pattached, for example, to a writing-padf orthe like and along which the blocks or individual parts of the calendarmay be displaced.

A cover or protecting-lid la, fastened onto one longitudinal ledge ofthe pad f in any suitable manner-as,'for instance, by a strip ofleatherwserves to be placed over said component parts a of the calendarand is at any suitable place-for example, near its one endiitted with anopening c', through which the top leaf of the block a, placed underneathsaid lid, is visible and which may be so arranged that it allows oftearing off the individual leaves of the blocks without necessitatingthe opening of the lid. The front edge of the blocks may be protected bymeans of a suitable ledge g.

When the block a, placed underneath the opening, is exhausted, the leafwhich served to fasten it is removed and the next or continuation blockis placed underneath said opening c'. If desired or necessary, the wholeseries of blocks may be shifted accordingly. The possibility of openingthe said cover or protecting-lid k enables entries of notes and the liketo be made upon anyofthe leaves the calendar or ypart of calendar iscomposed of.

The individual blocks and the single leaves, respectively, are entirelyprotected by the cover or lid against being torn or otherwise damageduntil the time arrives when they are to be made use of; but the viewupon the leaf corresponding to the respective day of vthe month,` andthereby upon the notes made thereon, is not impeded.

The ornamental execution of the calendar and the writing-pad which maybecombinedv therewith is entirely, and also the number of the blocks intowhich the whole calendar is divided may be left to the taste of thepublic and may also depend on the respective sizes which are required. 1

Having now describedthe nature of my invention, what I claim isW 1. Acalendar comprising several blocks each having a plurality of leaves anda strong baseleaf, means for holding the base-leaves so that the blocksmay be slid laterally, and a common movable lid for covering the blocks,the said lid having an opening at one end, through which the top leaf ofone of the blocks covered by the lid becomes visible.

2. In a calendar the combination of several blocks, each having aplurality of leaves and a strong base-leaf with a metal ledge placedacross and attached to a writing-pad under which ledge the base-leavesof the said blocks In testimony that I claim the foregoing as may beslid so that the blocks are held by the my invention I have signed myname in pressaid ledge but may be moved laterally, and a ence of twosubscribing Witnesses.
